Last month, The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens played host to the International Bugatti Meeting’s week-long driving tour of the Kerry and Cork countryside. The hotel welcomed over 100 Bugattis and 200 guests, from all over the world.
The exciting week-long event saw guests take in the stunning sights and atmosphere of the Kerry and Cork countryside. The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens, is set in beautiful Killarney and overlooks the iconic landmark; The Gap of Dunloe and was thus perfectly located for this special occasion.
Speaking about the event, organiser, Mike Preston, said “The International Bugatti Meeting was thoroughly and the South West could cope with an The roads, people, scenery were all we needed. After careful consideration of the time of year, we then selected the Dunloe Hotel & Gardens as the central single accommodation.”
“One of the attractions was the private location where we could concentrate on the ethos of this year’s event: ‘By
Friends, For Friends, With Friends’. We were able to secure the whole hotel for our exclusive use. This gave every participant the ability to feel “At Home”. this....? Can we do that?..... I simply said and staff enabled this to happen. The whole atmosphere from start to finish was that of friendship. With so many countries being represented, we were able to facilitate any requirements throughout the whole week. I cannot thank the staff and management at the Dunloe enough for helping organise and execute such a prestigious event.”
Speaking about the event, Jason Clifford, General Manager at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens said, “It was an absolute pleasure to be the host venue for the International Bugatti Meeting 2019. The exclusive use of the hotel for this seven-day programme was four years in the making between The Dunloe Sales Team and organisers Mike Preston and Rupert Marks. It was a stunning sight to see so many vintage Bugatti cars parked at The Dunloe, some of which were built in the 1920s.” “The Bugatti guests made great use of our 64 acres of listed gardens and held a BBQ by the thatched cottage in the gardens, enjoyed tours of the 12th century Dunloe Castle and watched falconry demonstrations on the lawn. We hope to be able to welcome many more similar groups in the future and thank Mike Preston and his team for placing his trust in The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens to deliver such an amazing event”
